University is something that everyone deems as the best experience of your life. If I'm totally honest I thought it was an over exaggeration that would lead to bitter disappointment.
Lets start from the beginning university was definitely not something which I thought I would ever get to. I remember vividly how my cooking teacher deemed me to forever be a failure and never get anywhere in my life. My witty response was I would marry a rich man.
Once I passed my GCSE's and got into sixth form I still would never have dreamt that university would be my career path. Day's before I came I still had cold feet. I questioned whether I would like my course, my flat mates and being 4 hours drive away from my family.
Although I am the worst speller and am terrible at grammar and even resorted to buying a book to assist me. This last semester made me realised that however cliched this comment is, I want to live and breathe the dream.
The party life one hundred percent just increased the university experience, my first day. Flat party. Little bore. I saw a man down vodka and still stand and I thought fuck is this what I'm going to end up doing.
The moments where you are with people that you have made whether it's a hangover tea or a trip to Shirley for a splash story. You know you that have made friends for life.
I am deemed mummy Lil, for looking after my flat best mate on a night out. I might as well be for Charli and Hannah as they never ever know where our lectures are. Without be they wouldn't turn up half the time. Although secretly I am the most disorganised person ever. Just ask my mother, or come in my room it's definitely closer.
Magazine Journalism and Feature Writing (hons), has been so incredible that I just couldn't explain it. From guest lecturers out of our eyeballs, to wanting to gauge out my eyeballs from the assignments.
I had no idea how to write a news story, a blog and link it. I had no idea what consist of a feature. I would struggle with how they came up the the ideas. Most of all it has made me grow in confidence to know that it's okay not to know it. That I will get better and I will get to where I want if I work for it.
